Henny Braund

When Henny joined Anthony Nolan in 2009, she set out a bold ambition to transform the registry’s ability to meet patient need. Early on, Henny established a far-reaching strategy that included a radical transformation of Anthony Nolan’s brand and communications. Now, she is driving forward the new organisational strategy, ‘Together, We Can Save Lives’, as Anthony Nolan leads the way into a future of new treatments, new ways of working, and new opportunities to save and improve more lives.

At Anthony Nolan, Henny works with staff at all levels, Trustees and supporters, as well as with external stakeholders, such as government departments. Henny, who was named as the Charity Times Charity Principal of the Year in 2013, sees it as her role to deliver our vision, champion our cause, and to galvanise people to help our lifesaving work. Inspired by the passion and commitment of Anthony Nolan’s staff, Henny works to build on the charity’s rich history and secure it a successful future.

Previously Resources Director at Shelter, the housing charity, Henny draws on 20 years’ experience in the voluntary sector.
